How are cliffs formed

Cliffs are usually formed because of processes called erosion and weathering. Weathering happens when natural events, like wind or rain, break up pieces of rock. In coastal areas, strong winds and powerful waves break off soft or grainy rocks from hardier rocks. The harder rocks are left as cliffs.

Transportation There are four ways in which a rivers moves its eroded material downstream; traction, saltation, suspension and solution. Deposition This is where the river drops its material. It occurs when the velocity of the river decreases, energy is reduced and the river can no longer hold all its material.

A sea Stack forms when a sea arch continues to be eroded and widened until the rock becomes too weak to support the roof of the sea arch and collapses into the sea. The remaining pillar of rock is known as a sea stack.

A landform of deposition is a beach. A beach is defined as all the material that is found between the areas of low tide and high tide. The material is an accumulation of sand and shingle that has been eroded elsewhere, transported by longshore drift and deposited by constructive waves.
